Hello.
German guy here… I have now 60days visa exemption/ visa on arrival when I arrive via international flight. I am looking for information if it’s the same or not when I enter Thailand via land border. I was reading that it’s the same but I just found one article that says so. German auswärtiges Amt or Thai embassy have no helpful/ clear information about that (or I am not able to find it)
Thx in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A German expat is inquiring if the 60-day visa exemption applies equally when entering Thailand via land borders as it does when arriving by air. The consensus among commenters is that the 60-day exemption is the same regardless of the mode of entry, whether by air, land, or sea. There was some discussion about past changes in regulations—specifically, that previously there were periods with shorter exemptions for land entry—but current regulations uniformly grant 60 days. It was also noted that there are currently no restrictions on the number of land border entries, which had been misinterpreted in the conversation.
